John Conyers III, the son of former U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr., didn't turn in enough signatures to qualify for the ballot in Michigan's 13th Congressional district, Wayne County Clerk staff concluded Wednesday.

In a staff report, the Wayne County Clerk's office recommended the petition signatures submitted by Conyers III be determined "insufficient" for the ballot. Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett will make a final determination on the report in two business days, per a spokesperson.

Conyers III needs 1,000 valid signatures of registered voters in the 13th Congressional District to qualify for both the full Congressional term starting January 2019 and the remainder of the partial term vacated by his father. Primary elections for both of those terms will take place in August.

The staff report concluded only 905 of the 1,914 signatures Conyers III submitted for the full term were valid. Of the 1,905 signatures submitted to qualify for the partial term, only 880 were deemed valid.

Conyers III's campaign did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Conyers III has never held public office, but entered the race shortly after the elder Conyers endorsed him on the Mildred Gaddis radio show. The endorsement came in the same interview where Conyers told the public he'd step down in the aftermath of sexual harassment allegations first reported by Buzzfeed News.

State Sen. Ian Conyers, Conyers Jr.'s great nephew, is also running for the seat and had filed a formal challenge through his attorney to Conyers III's signatures last week.

Also running in the 13th Congressional District are former state representatives Shanelle Jackson and Rashida Tlaib, City Council President Brenda Jones, Kimberly Hill Knott, state Sen. Coleman Young II and Westland Mayor Bill Wild.
